REPORT OF THE BOTANIST. 77 
slender, firm, hollow, colored like the pileus, pruinose, deeply 
rooting. 
Plant 1’—-2' high, pileus 4"—10" broad, stem .5" thick. On rotten, 
mossy logs in woods. Sandlake and Greig. September. 
MARasMIUS DECURRENS 2. Sp. 
Pileus thin, convex, minutely tomentulose, grayish or tawny ; 
lamellz arcuate-decurrent, subdistant, narrow, tapering toward each 
end, whitish with discolored edge, interspaces rugose-reticulated ; 
stem slender, firm, equal, gray, minutely tomentulose. - 
Plant subczspitose, 1’-2’ high, pileus 4’—6” broad, stem .5” thick. 
Ground in a shaded ravine. Albany Rural Cemetery. July. 
A species remarkable for the peculiar characters of the lamelle. 
It is apparently allied to JL. claveformis. 
MARASMIUS PULCHERRIPES 7. Sp. 
Pileus membranaceous, campanulate, obtuse, distantly striate, 
dry, smooth, of a soft maroon or vinous red color; lamellz few, 
distant, narrow, ascending, free; stem tough, smooth and shining, 
brownish-black, clear red at the top. 
Plant 1’-1.5’ high, pileus 2-4” broad, stem not half a line thick. 
Sticks and acerose leaves among moss in woods. Garrisons. 
June. (Plate 4, figs. 19-22.) 
The transition from the black to the red portion of the stem is 
sudden and well defined. The free space at the inner extremity 
of the lamellee is red like the apical part of the stem. 
MARASMIUS FILOPES 2. Sp. 
Pileus membranaceous, convex, distantly and obscurely radiate- 
striate, subumbilicate, white ; lamellze few, distant, attached, white ; 
stem smooth, elongated, thread-like, flexuous, inserted, whitish, 
sometimes brownish at the base. 
Plant gregarious,1’-1.5" high, pileus about 1” broad, stem scarcely 
thicker than hog bristles. 
Fallen leaves of balsam trees, Abies balsamea. Indian Lake. 
October. (Plate 4, figs. 27-29.) 
A. remarkably slender and delicate species. There are about a 
half dozen lamellze with now and then an intermediate short one. 
PANUS SALICINUS 7. Sp. 
Pileus firm, thin, convex, deflexed or subpendant, hygrophanons, 
minutely farinaceo-tomentose, pinkish-gray ; lamellee moderately 
broad and close, converging to an excentric point, dark ferrugi- 
nous ; stem yery short or obsolete, obliquely attached to the vertex
